Danaos' CEO Dr. John Coustas commented:

"Danaos completed a very significant refinancing transaction in the 3rd quarter of 2018 that reduced our debt by $551 million, reset financial covenants and extended debt maturities to the end of 2023 on the back of a sustainable new amortization profile. This transaction has strengthened the Company's growth prospects over the next five years by removing all balloon payments and maturities of existing debt during that period.

Adjusted net income for the 3rd quarter of 2018 was $37.5 million or 23 cents per share, $7.4 million or 24.6% higher when compared to the 3rd quarter of 2017. This improvement was primarily the result of a $4.2 million increase in operating revenues due to improved re-chartering rates. Adjusted EBITDA for the 3rd quarter of 2018 was $82.7 million, $2.9 million or 3.6% higher when compared to the 3rd quarter of 2017.

Since our last earnings report, the charter market has remained consistently soft. Uncertainty about the potential impact of ongoing trade tensions, combined with higher newbuilding prices due to increasing steel prices and wages in China have discouraged new ordering except some feeder projects by some Asian liners.  This is positive for the medium term market outlook. Instead, market participants have been focusing on the 2020 regulations and in particular investments on scrubbers for vessels from 6,500 TEU upwards.

Danaos has been actively focused on positioning our fleet ahead of the implementation of the new regulations. Thus far, we have committed to install exhaust cleaning systems, or scrubbers, on six vessels, two of which are owned by our joint venture Gemini Shipholdings Corporation. These vessels have been chartered out for periods of at least three years in duration and since these are all vessels that are currently on short term charters, these transactions significantly improve income visibility. Additionally, the charter rate fixtures provide a full payback of the investment over three years, and we also benefit from the enhancement in the value of the upgraded underlying assets. We are also currently in discussions to install scrubbers on a further five vessels.

We maintain our high charter contract coverage of 90% in terms of operating revenues and 78% in terms of operating days over the next 12 months. This insulates us from the near-term soft charter market.  Through the six charters described above on vessels with scrubbers and an additional two fixtures that have been secured for durations of three years, our charter coverage has improved, and our contracted revenue has increased by more than $160 million.

Danaos continues to be a leader in the container shipping industry on the back of a solid track record of operational excellence and technological innovation that allows us to continually deliver high quality service to our customers. At the same time, the recently concluded re-financing transaction further enhances our ability to pursue growth opportunities and deliver value to our shareholders."

Three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, Danaos had an average of 55 containerships. Our fleet utilization for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was 97.4% compared to 97.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Our adjusted net income amounted to $37.5 million, or $0.23 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $30.1 million, or $0.27 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017. We have adjusted our net income in the three months ended September 30, 2018 for the gain on debt extinguishment of $116.4 million, refinancing related professional fees of $21.8 million and a non-cash fees amortization charge and accrued finance fees of $4.8 million. Please refer to the Adjusted Net Income reconciliation table, which appears later in this earnings release.

The increase of $7.4 million in adjusted net income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 is attributable mainly to a $4.2 million increase in operating revenues, a $3.4 million decrease in net finance expenses and a $0.4 million operating performance improvement on equity investments, which were partially offset by $0.6 million increase in total operating expenses.

On a non-adjusted basis, our net income amounted to $127.2 million, or $0.77 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net income of $22.4 million, or $0.20 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Operating Revenues
Operating revenues increased by 3.7%, or $4.2 million, to $117.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $113.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 reflect:

  • $6.3 million increase in revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 due to the re-chartering of certain of our vessels at higher rates.
  • $2.1 million decrease in revenues due to lower fleet utilization of our vessels in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Vessel Operating Expenses
Vessel operating expenses decreased by 2.3%, or $0.6 million, to $25.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $26.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017. The average daily operating cost per vessel for vessels on time charter was $5,427 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $5,569 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Management believes that our daily operating cost ranks as one of the most competitive in the industry.

Depreciation & Amortization
Depreciation & Amortization includes Depreciation and Amortization of Deferred Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs.

Depreciation
Depreciation expense decreased by 7.5%, or $2.2 million, to $27.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $29.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Amortization of Deferred Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs increased by $1.0 million, to $2.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $1.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was mainly due to the increased number of vessels dry-docked over the last nine months.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $2.0 million to $7.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018, from $5.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was mainly due to increased remuneration costs and professional fees.

Other Operating Expenses

Interest expense decreased by 6.8%, or $1.5 million, to $20.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $22.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in interest expense is attributed to:

(i) a $6.4 million decrease in interest expense on two of our facilities for which we have recognized an interest expense accrual of approximately $250 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2018. This interest expense accrual has been classified in our income statement under "Gain on debt extinguishment" and on our balance sheet under "Accumulated accrued interest" and represents future interest expense for the relevant facilities that has been accrued in advance as a result of the application of Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR") accounting in connection with our debt refinancing.

(ii) a $3.2 million increase in interest expense due to an increase in debt service cost of approximately 1.35%, partially offset by a $435 million decrease in our average debt, to $1,950.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $2,385.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017.

(iii) a $1.7 million increase in the amortization of deferred finance costs related to our debt refinancing.

As of September 30, 2018, the debt outstanding, gross of deferred finance costs, was $1,694.5 million compared to $2,381.7 million as of September 30, 2017.

Interest income increased by $0.1 million to $1.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $1.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Other finance costs, net
Other finance costs, net decreased by $0.3 million to $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $1.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 mainly due to decreased exit fees expenses.

Equity income on investments
Equity income on investments amounted to $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $0.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and relates to the improved operating performance of Gemini Shipholdings Corporation ("Gemini"), in which the Company has a 49% shareholding interest.

Gain on debt extinguishment
The gain on debt extinguishment of $116.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 relates to our debt refinancing described below and consists of debt principal reduction net of refinancing related fees.

Loss on derivatives
Amortization of deferred realized losses on interest rate swaps remained stable at $0.9 million in each of the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Other income/(expenses), net
Other income/(expenses), net was $21.6 million in expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $3.9 million in expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2017 mainly due to the increase in refinancing-related professional fees.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 3.6%, or $2.9 million, to $82.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $79.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017. As outlined above, this increase is mainly attributable to a $4.2 million increase in operating revenues and a $0.4 million operating performance improvement on our equity investments, which were partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in total operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2018 is adjusted for a gain on debt extinguishment of $116.4 million, refinancing-related professional fees of $21.8 million and stock based compensation of $0.2 million. Tables reconciling Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income can be found at the end of this earnings release.

Debt Refinancing

In connection with this debt refinancing, we issued 99,342,271 new shares of Danaos common stock to certain of our lenders, which represented 47.5% of our outstanding common stock after giving effect to this issuance and diluting existing shareholders ratably.

 The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. See the Table above for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA(1)

1)

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest income and expense, depreciation, amortization of deferred drydocking & special survey costs and deferred finance costs, amortization of deferred realized losses on interest rate swaps, loss on sale of securities, gain on debt extinguishment, stock based compensation and refinancing professional fees. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or "GAAP." We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financings, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital expenditures and acquisitions, items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.




Note: Items to consider for comparability include gains and charges. Gains positively impacting net income are reflected as deductions to net income. Charges negatively impacting net income are reflected as increases to net income.




The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
